India’s Paras Gupta, who outplayed reigning IBSF World 6-Red snooker champion Kamal Chawla earlier within the day, scored a crushing 5-0 win over Sunny Wang to storm into the semifinals of the ACBS Asian 6-Red Snooker on Tuesday (June 24, 2025).

The 29-year-old Agra cueist performed the massive factors nicely to place it previous the Singaporean, who had earlier shocked former champion Muhammad Sajjad of Pakistan 5-0.

After taking the re-spotted black within the first body, Gupta lacked the same old fluency.

Although he went up 2-0 with a run of 28 within the second, he was not in command of the proceedings. Fortunately for him, Wang didn’t take the possibilities that got here his means and let Gupta off the hook.

Gupta took the scrappy third and fourth frames to go up 4-0.

It was solely within the last body that the Indian rediscovered his contact, making a silken-smooth break of 59 to shut out the match.

In the semifinals, he’ll face both Habib Sabah (Bahrain) or Ali Al Obaidli (Qatar).

Earlier within the morning session, Gupta carried far too many weapons for Chawla, scoring a lopsided 5-2 victory.

After taking the opening body comfortably, he had runs of 47 and 30 to take a fast 3-0 lead within the best-of-nine body encounter, and he seldom let the benefit slip.
